And here is the error log

It seems that pkgin delete pkg_admin and pkg_info when remove the old pkg_install package, and it need it to install the new one. Here is the content of directory /opt/pkg/sbin

There is no pkg_admin and pkg_info any more.

All I have to do is reinstall the bootstrap package.

    Yes, sorry, Apple broken vfork() in Monterey which causes the pkg_install upgrade to fail and leave the system in a broken state.

    You'll need to follow the workaround instructions that I sent out here: https://mail-index.netbsd.org/pkgsrc-users/2021/11/08/msg034705.html

    That should hopefully get you going again. Once you've moved past the breakage there shouldn't be any issues. Sorry about this, unfortunately there was nothing we could do about it.
